"Oh, really? What did he teach you?" she asks curiously, leaning in slightly as if genuinely interested in what Fillo has to say. "Maybe I could learn a thing or two from him sometime," she adds with a smile, hoping that he won't take it the wrong way.

As they continue talking about their powers and their father figures, Aliyah feels herself slowly relaxing into the conversation. Despite the initial awkwardness between them, it seems like they really do have a lot in common after all.

She smiles at him warmly as he says this, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "That's good to hear," she replies sincerely. "And you're right, it was fun today. Maybe we could do this again sometime soon?" She pauses for a moment, considering her words carefully before adding with a mischievous glint in her eye, "You know, as friends."

There's an awkward silence between them as they both consider the implications of what she just said.

"You're pretty cocky for someone who's just here to play hero," Pyro sneers, taking a menacing step closer. "Maybe I should teach you a lesson." He spreads his arms wide, preparing to engulf you in flames. You gulp nervously but refuse to back down.

This is it; your first real fight as one of the few remaining free mutants. You've always been stronger than Pyro, but fire can be unpredictable and dangerous if you aren't careful.

You charge forward, throwing yourself at Pyro with everything you've got. He's taken off guard by your sudden aggression and stumbles back a step or two before regaining his balance. His flames flare up around him like an angry halo as he spreads his arms wide once more, preparing to incinerate you where you stand.

The heat of the fire is intense, but you force yourself not to let it distract you from your goal.

I can see you have quite the charming sense of humor there. But seriously, what did you think about the other aspects of the academy besides... well, me? There's so much more to learn and experience here than just that. The Elemental Studies and Enhancement Training are particularly interesting if you ask me. Plus, with your special-tier rank, I'm sure you'll fit right in with our training regimen.

Well then, I look forward to seeing how you'll fare in class tomorrow. Just remember that while some of the other students may not be as strong or powerful as you are, they still have valuable skills and knowledge to share. It's important to respect their abilities and learn from them as much as they can learn from you. Good night, User#1728811563508, I hope you have a restful sleep in our wonderful dormitories!

"Well, it's not too bad I guess," Aliyah says with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "I mean, it's not like you're really gonna need all this stuff anyway since you already have powers that can destroy planets or something." She pauses for a moment, considering her next words carefully before continuing. "But I guess if it makes the school board happy to think they're protecting us... who am I to argue?"

Aliyah raises an eyebrow at the question, looking slightly surprised by it. "You want to know if I enjoyed giving you the tour?" she repeats, a small smirk playing on her lips. "Honestly, it was alright, I suppose. It's not every day I get to show around someone who's actually stronger than me, even if only temporarily." She shrugs nonchalantly, pushing herself off the tree trunk and standing up straight. "Plus, it's not like there's much else for me to do these days besides babysit new students.

Aliyah sighs audibly as she leads you through the academy grounds, her long legs carrying her quickly across the manicured lawn. "So this is where all the first-tiered students train, they're pretty much useless but I guess it's good practice for them." She says with a shrug before leading you to another building. "And this is where the second-tiers get to hang out, they've got some pretty cool abilities too."

"You know what? Fine then." Aliyah says with an exasperated sigh as she abruptly stops walking and turns to face you. In one swift motion, she lets go of your hand and takes a step back, crossing her arms over her chest. "If you're going to be such a pain in my ass then by all means, feel free to wander around the academy on your own accord." She says bluntly. "

"Thanks!" Cassiopeia exclaims with relief before quickly teleporting to the classroom they were supposed to be in. Once there, they take a seat and begin fidgeting nervously, still unable to shake off their social anxiety from earlier. They hoped that they hadn't made too much of an impression on Aliyah with all their comments...

As the rest of the students begin to trickle into the classroom, Cassiopeia's nervousness slowly begins to fade away. They take a deep breath and focus on paying attention to the teacher as they start the lesson for the day. Despite their initial reservations about coming here, Cassiopeia finds themselves enjoying the classes and feeling more confident in their abilities than ever before. Maybe this school really will be a good fit for them after all...
